The correct answer to the question is : Gamma radiation.

EXPLANATION:

In a nuclear reactor, the water is heated due to the radiations coming from nuclear fission.

In the radioactive decay of uranium or other radio active substances, three types of radiations are produced which are known as alpha particle, beta particle and gamma ray.

Alpha particle is the double charged helium nucleus while beta is the stream of electrons. Hence, alpha and beta are the material particles. They are not radiations.

The gamma ray is an electromagnetic radiation. Hence, this will be responsible for heating water.

Hence, the correct answer is gamma radiations.

An x-ray beam of a certain wavelength is incident on a crystal, at 30.7° to a certain family of reflecting planes of spacing 33.

klemol [59]

Answer:

λ=34.068pm

Explanation:

Wavelength λ=2dsinθ

λ=2(33.4pm)sin30.7

λ=2(33.4pm) * 0.510

λ=66.8* sin30.7

λ=66.8*0.510

λ=34.068pm

X-rays are usually produced by charged particles that are accelerating or decelerating such as a beam of electrons striking a metal plate in an X-ray tube.

A solid metal object hangs from a force sensor by a thread in the open air, and the actual weight is measured to be 0.71 N. Then

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The apparent weight of the object is 0.465 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 0.71 N

Water level = 50 mL

object inserted = 75 mL

We need to calculate the volume of solid

Using formula of volume

$V=25\ ml = 25\times10^{-6}\ m^3$

We need to calculate the buoyancy force

Using formula of buoyancy force

$F'= V\rho g$

Put the value into the formula

$F'=25\times10^{-6}\times1000\times9.8$

$F'=0.245\ N$

We need to calculate the apparent weight of the object

Using formula of apparent weight

$W=F-F'$

Put the value into the formula

$W=0.71-0.245$

$W=0.465\ N$

Hence, The apparent weight of the object is 0.465 N.

A brick is resting on a smooth wooden board that is at a 30° angle. What is one way to overcome the static friction that is hold

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

We apply force to move the brick.

Explanation:

Let me first of define a force .

A force is something applied to an object or thing to change it's internal or external state.

Now if a brick is resting on smooth wood inclined at 30° to the horizontal for us to overcome the friction which is also a force we have to apply a force greater than the gravity force acting on the body and then depending on the direction of the applied force the angle to apply it also.

Efficincy of simple machine is 60% what does it mean?<br>

umka2103 [35]

Explanation:

By the statement, Efficiency of a machine is 60% it is meant that 'The work output is 60% of the work input'. If you apply 100J of energy for a machine, it will be able to life load of 60 J only
